In order to prepare for the upcoming school year, the First Spark Institute hosted 5 guest speakers, ranging from incoming college freshmen from UT Austin and MIT to senior high school students, for a high school activities seminar dedicated to helping introduce younger high school students to different avenues of potential extracurricular activities.
